Internal company documents obtained by The Globe and Mail, as part of hearings between Amazon and Unifor at the British Columbia Labour Relations Board, outline the use of an AI tool called Atlas in recent years across more than 50 warehouses in the United States, Canada and Europe.

In a statement to The Globe, Amazon spokesperson Sam Stephenson said the information gathered helps the company identify trends and prioritize them accordingly.
